President Bola Tinubu has reacted to the killing of six brave and gallant soldiers who lost their lives in an attack launched by the ISWAP terrorists on their base in Borno State.
The terrorists caught the military unawares launching attacks, killing and injuring the military personnel and setting their weapons and base on fire in one of the deadliest attacks on sliders in recent years. ISWAP, a breakaway of the Boko Haram insurgents, immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
In his reaction through the spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, the president called for a thorough investigation into the unfortunate incident.
Onanuga said Tinubu ordered a “thorough investigation to uncover the circumstances that led to the unfortunate incident and ensure that it serves as a valuable lesson to prevent similar occurrences.”
“This resolute action by the Army demonstrates the capability and readiness of our military to confront and defeat threats to our nation’s security. Their actions testify to our resolve to eradicate terrorism and banditry, paving the way for a future where peace and security prevail for all Nigerians,” the President was quoted as saying.
“I extend heartfelt gratitude and sympathy to our military and security forces on behalf of a grateful nation.
“Your sacrifices and dedication do not go unnoticed, and we stand firmly behind you in this ongoing fight to eliminate these threats.”
